متن کاملSerum Free Light-chain Assay for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prognosis of Multiple Myeloma
In recent decades, new serum biomarkers have been developed for routine laboratory practice, such as assaying serum free light chains and more recently, assaying immunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes (Hevylite). In this work, we highlight the interest of new biomarkers (Hevylite Test) in the management of monoclonal gammopathies because of the technical advantages it confers and the se...
متن کامل[Biclonal light chain gammopathy in multiple myeloma--a case report].
A 74-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital in March 1998 for low-back pain. In 1990, she had a chemotherapy for diffuse mixed cell lymphoma. Biochemical and serologic assays revealed a total protein level of 9.7 g/dl and an IgG level of 4,530 mg/dl. Immunoelectrophoresis showed monoclonal IgG protein associated with two monoclonal kappa and lambda light chain components. Bone marrow exami...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes in multiple myeloma patients.
The frequency of expression of immunoglobulin (Ig) light and heavy chain isotypes was analyzed in myeloma proteins (M-proteins) from sera of 40 Indian patients with clinically established multiple myeloma. Patients samples were screened by a combination of electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) and ELISA techniques in this study. We found that majority of the myeloma proteins (58%) were o...
متن کاملAuer rod-like inclusions in κ light chain myeloma.
A 56-year-old woman with a history of dyslipidemia and hepatic steatosis presented with weight loss and progressive proteinuria. The presenting blood count was normal: white blood cells, 10.9 3 10/L; hemoglobin, 15.5 g/dL; platelet count, 236 3 10/L. No significant rouleaux formations were present on the peripheral blood smear. Calcium (9.28 mg/dL), blood urea nitrogen/creatinine (15/0.78 mg/dL...
